That interview was great! I loved reading her talking about that story. It would be extremely creepy for a soap storyline to parallel your own life, especially when your the one acting it. I think she even said her car broke down by an Inn that was run down like the Willows. Just crazy. Thanks for doing that interview by the way.

I'm watching the 1979 episode in its entirety right now, and I absolutely LOVE it. LOVE it. This is the slow-as-hell ATWT I wish we could see more of.

For some reason, I really enjoyed the Tom-Lisa scene. There's just something about their dynamic...I like how Lisa can talk about her love life with her son, and he's not an ass about it.

REALLY? There were some very long scenes in there, like the Bob/Dana one at the theatre towards the end. Just the two of them talking, some silences, and I don't think there was even a shot of them both in the same frame. Just talking heads. I ate it up like dinner, but I can see why people could get restless.

It's no secret, I am dying for anything from 1967-1975. I watch that '72 kinescope at least once a week.

That's why I picked it. Two original cast members (along with Helen) as well as a couple of minutes of 1960s black and white flashbacks. Anne Sward came back that episode too. I think you mentioned the 1992 Christmas show at one point. I just smiled knowing it was actually coming soon.

Just FYI...The 1987 Christmas show was one that had a music rights issue.

Yes the 1992 and 1991 Christmas shows were very good, it's nice to see one chosen from that timeframe. The 1991 had a candle-lighting ceremony (or was that 1992?) I found very moving.

I love Anne Sward - glad to see her getting more respect from your DVDs than she did in some of ATWT's later years...

Thanks again for telling us about this stuff.

    • I wouldn't call Tomas' cuts a modern cut. They appear to be a slim/extreme slim cut⏤cut slimmer down the sides, with a higher armhole, which pulls up/out, depending on the fit of the person's body. Again, I feel like Ms Featherstone is buying to fit the wrong parts of the body; instead of buying to fit their widest parts (shoulders), she's buying things to fit their middle/waist (which is the easiest to ultimately fix without a complete re-cut), and it shows in the finished product. And the only reason it irks me is because I worked in suit sales for nearly ten years, and I notice these things immediately. The fashion(s) on this soap are miles ahead of three of the four others (I like the fashions from Y&R), but the tailoring is a choice, especially where the men are concerned.
    • There probably would have been a good chance they knew of him, especially with his ties to Spaulding and his being involved in so much scandal (meaning there would be plenty of photos and articles around they both would have seen), but I agree the mask was silly, clearly just a TV moment.

    • I think all the suits are fit too tight, except for Jon Lindstrom's. DC lawyers/doctors are not all LA fashion elites. Yes, maybe Tomas would have a more modern cut to his suit, but an established guy like Bill wouldn't go around looking like that lonely button on his jacket was ready to explode constantly.
    • I do think there's room for optimism, especially with Amazon making enough new episodes to last until December. There's still time for the various players to get their ducks in a row. Guess we'll know soon enough! 
    • I do agree it's better to just have people pop back into town. I never understood why Roger needed a mask on an island, when neither Fletcher or Alex would've known who he was. And the vine...sigh. Couldn't he have just been sent crashing through a window or something?
    • When the announcement was first made, I did wonder if other plans were in the works. I guess we can always keep hoping, especially as the show has a small core cast.
    • @chrismlAbout Lisa, agree to disagree. Actually at the time she was the only thing my partner & I disagreed about. Naturally she was Team Vicky while I was steadfast as Team Lisa.  About John & twin paternity, I think that like the 3 pillows was a transitory idea someone had that no one else agreed with. More of the attempt to accommodate Philece. About MJ, co-sign, 100% agree, if there were more degrees I would claim them. About Wally & Felicia, always a fan. Mitch? Eh, take or leave. Although I do agree that WGE is a really striking man. Who have I left out? I don't know so that's all I got.

    • Dallas peaked early, IMO. Maybe not a fair statement as I’m still making my way through the first half of its run, but I think it’s hard to argue to point that S3 into S4 was its high point. Back to Knots. Wrapping up “And Never Brought to Mind.” Greg’s introduction kinda took me by surprise. I low-key dreaded his arrival bc I know he very quickly gets to the center of the show, but even though they wasted no time connecting him with Mac, Abby, Gary, and Karen, it still feels like a gradual intro. The juxtaposition of the ending of the Chip story with the heating up Abby’s plotting is quite symbolic of the changes the show was going through. I absolutely cannot imagine Kenny and Ginger having any part in any of this. Yall, the Gary/Val piano theme that they pull out from time to time is my FAVORITE. I find myself humming it constantly.
